Recipe

Homemade Tortilla Nests

[1]

Ingredients

  • 12 (6-inch) corn tortillas
  • 4 cups corn or vegetable oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Emeril's Original Essence, to taste [2]

Directions

  • In a large, heavy saucepan, heat the oil to 360 degrees F.
  • Quickly dip the tortilla in the oil to make it pliable. Remove from the oil and carefully julienne the tortillas. Spread some of the julienne tortillas in a 1-cup ladle. Place a smaller ladle on top of the tortillas and immerse in the oil. Fry until crisp, about 2 minutes. Remove to a paper towel lined plate and season with salt and Essence. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
  • Serve warm with the Sweet 'n Sour Ceviche.
